Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 781 Take Over
When Jiang Hui arrived at the Jaguar Land Rover headquarters, Guan Weidong and the others had already completed all the formalities.

Legally speaking, Jaguar Land Rover is already completely under the control of Brilliant Motors, and what needs to be done now is to make it actually under the control of Brilliant Motors.

If the economic situation is good, let alone actually take over, it will be very difficult to buy it back on the surface.

But now that the subprime mortgage crisis is getting worse, GM has planned to lay off 3 employees, Chrysler has laid off 2 employees, and Ford has killed more than 1 people.

Even so, major car companies are still considering layoffs. Even some well-run car companies are beginning to consider reducing costs. Even if they don't lay off employees, they have frozen their recruitment.

Jaguar Land Rover, as an auto company that has been losing money for many years, employees are most afraid of layoffs or salary cuts by the new owner.

And as long as Brilliant Motors doesn't move these two sensitive areas, it won't be too much trouble to take over the job.

Of course, this kind of reception must not arrange a bunch of Brilliant Motors people to go to Jaguar Land Rover in a rush, which is too exciting.

At this time, Kenny's value has been fully reflected.

For Jaguar Land Rover employees, the change of board members, the new chairman is still the original board member.

The newly promoted directors were also senior executives of the company, and none of the executives who were airborne came in.

"Have you read the company's personnel appointments? That stubborn Johnson has been ripped off as chairman."

"Is that right? It's normal. It's impossible for the new owner to remain indifferent to the current bad situation when he takes office."

"Well, in the past few years, only the sales of the Land Rover brand have increased. Letting the vice president in charge of Land Rover sales be the chairman, although it is a leapfrog promotion, it is not beyond everyone's expectations."

"I heard that the board of directors is still very fierce this time. Johnson originally wanted to continue to control the board of directors, but at the critical moment Kenny jumped out with several directors to object, and with the support of shareholders, this can be regarded as getting Johnson down."

"Johnson can't be regarded as a complete failure. I heard that the new owner still offered him a very good retirement package."

"That's true. From this point of view, our new owner is not too annoying."

"No matter who is the shareholder, as long as our treatment doesn't drop, we don't do any layoffs, and it doesn't affect my work, I don't care."

Many times, Chinese people think that foreigners like to protest and parade no matter what they encounter.

In fact, it is not. What everyone sees in the news is only a small part of the screened content.

For ordinary people, as long as you don't move my cake, most of the time, everyone is indifferent.

The difference is that if you touched my cake, ordinary people in the West would generally rise up and resist, but ordinary people in the Celestial Dynasty often chose to accept it.

……

Just after Kenny became the chairman of Jaguar Land Rover, his first task was to adjust the division of labor among the board members and assign some important tasks to directors he trusted.

Immediately afterwards, according to what Jiang Hui communicated with Kenny in advance, Kenny adjusted the person in charge of the Jaguar Land Rover Tianchao branch.

Not to mention that the people from the Jaguar Land Rover Tianchao branch have not taken the initiative to contact Brilliant Automobile. Jiang Hui must adjust such unscrupulous managers.

Besides, Tianchao will become Jaguar Land Rover's most important market in the future, and a large part of the credit for Jaguar Land Rover's turnaround will depend on the Tianchao market. Under such circumstances, Jiang Hui must completely control the Tianchao branch.

This is also the only field that Jiang Hui is currently working on. The members of Jaguar Land Rover's board of directors also see it very clearly, and naturally they will not make trouble with the big boss because of this trivial matter.

After all, the current Chinese market is really not the focus of Jaguar Land Rover, and it can't even enter the top five.

For the appointment of personnel in an "unimportant" market, no one bothers to make mistakes.

However, if everyone knows the importance of the Chinese market to Jaguar Land Rover in the future, they may not consider it this way.

However, by the time these people reacted, Jaguar Land Rover had already completely fallen into the hands of Brilliant Motors.

"Everyone, on behalf of the shareholders, I would like to announce a piece of good news. For the future development of Jaguar Land Rover, Brilliance Motors will inject [-] million US dollars into Jaguar Land Rover for the development of new models." Kenny sat in the middle of the conference room and said to All middle and senior management of Jaguar Land Rover who attended the enlarged meeting of the board of directors said.

The enlarged meeting, as the name suggests, is that some non-directors also participate in the meeting, such as some supervisors, company executives, technical backbones, etc.

When major events such as the replacement of new and old shareholders of Jaguar Land Rover and the re-election of the board of directors are superimposed, it is necessary to convene key figures to participate in the enlarged meeting of the board of directors.

"Is it a one-time investment of [-] million US dollars?" A director confirmed.

Although when Ford Motor sold Jaguar Land Rover, it asked Guanghui Motors to invest [-] million US dollars in the next three years to develop new models, but it did not specify how to invest.

"Yes, all the funds will enter the company's account within three days," Kenny gave a reply that exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Of course, shareholders have also raised some expectations. At present, our engines are still using Ford, but this is only temporary. Our company needs to develop the next generation of engine technology by itself."

"This is no problem at all. We used to have our own engine reserves, and now we should pick them up quickly. Besides, in the field of engines, we still have a lot of talents in the UK, and we can recruit some appropriately."

"Indeed, we recruit more when everyone is busy laying off employees. It should be able to quickly stabilize the status of employees, so that they don't have to worry about the company considering layoffs."

"Yes, yes. Recently, the company has been a little panicked. They are worried that the new owner will make some measures to lay off employees after taking over. If we not only do not lay off employees, but also recruit more, everyone should be able to stabilize quickly."

Several directors chattered and continued Kenny's words.

"No problem, our shareholders are also optimistic about the development of the automobile industry and the future of Jaguar Land Rover, so they paid a lot of money to acquire it. I agreed to the additional requirement of recruiting engine technicians," Kenny said with a smile.

Then, the board of directors discussed some problems faced by Jaguar Land Rover and listened to feedback from various departments.

"Next, let's discuss the last topic of today." When other topics have been discussed, Kenny began to announce the last topic.

"That is to discuss the joint venture between Guanghui Automobile and Jaguar Land Rover to build a factory in Tianchao."
